io333 Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 I thought I saw somewhere that it was up to 2.6.8 somewhere, but when I look here: http://www.mandrakesoft.com/security/advisories?dis=10.0 I can't find anything past 2.6.3 I've been desperate for a kernel 2.6.4 or higher for a long time (to make longrun work on my TransMeta laptop). Is there some other place to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 (edited) you can look in cooker-files (e.g. by setting up cooker via easyurpmi, but be careful not to "destroy" your base-system!) for newer kernels. the brand new 2.6.8 kernel needs to be configured by you manually. you can get it only as tar.gz file right now. if you want to compile the 2.6.8 kernel, be sure to have the latest compiling-libraries on your box and that you have enough spare-time. ;) Edited August 14, 2004 by arctic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
io333 Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Ouch! Thanks for the info. I was hoping for something painless like an automagic security update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
